"The Magnificent Seven" television series started with this episode/movie "Ghosts of the Confederacy". They created a fictional story that will live on in the memories of western fans forever.
See Eric Close in the role that put him on the map. He is absolutely delectable as Vin Tanner; the ex-bounty hunter, gravel-voiced tracker. Michael Biehn is superb as the notorious gunslinger Chris Larabee. Anthony Starke was perfectly made for the delightfully entertaining Ezra Standish; gambler and conman. Ron Perlman is cast as the ex-preacher Josiah Sanchez and Rick Worthy plays the part of the ex-slave Nathan Jackson. Both bring drama and balance to the seven; with age, wisdom and a belief in doing what's right. The fun and frolicking Buck Wilmington could not have played by anyone but Dale Midkiff and he is absolutely delightful in this role. As the womanizing scoundrel he adds laughter and an odd sort of compassion to the group. Lastly, Andrew Kavovit plays J.D. Dunne, the final member of the seven, a eastern greenhorn. Young Mr. Dunne wants to earn the respect of the others, especially that of the gunslinger; Mr. Larabee. Can he?
Enjoy the camaraderie and anticipate the trouble that can result when you take seven completely different characters and have them try to work together.
A wonderful tale! I loved it!
